That one in three became me.

At age 15 I became that one in three. I met an older guy who I thought would protect and care for me, and it seemed so at first...but things quickly changed. He started making sure I was with him 24/7 and didn't really "allow" me to hang out with my friends or family..which made them turn away from me. Very early into the relationship i was emotionally abused, he constantly put me down and screaming at me whenever he was angry..even if I had done nothing at all. A couple months into our relationship he began hitting me, I was questioned by everyone about the constant bruises I had, but I always made up excuses. This got worse and worse. One day at school he started shaking me, threw me up against a wall and started chocking me. My friend grabbed him off and I ran to my class. I broke up with him but he begged for me back and I soon took him back. Finally the abuse turned sexual. I was a virgin and planned to be one until marriage..he had other plans. One night he came to my house and we started kissing. He started pressuring me to do more and i pushed him with all my strength away. And I kept yelling no. He didn't listen and pinned me down then raped me. After I started crying he "realized" what he did and threatened to kill himself if I left him...since I loved him I stayed with him. I was so torn up over the deal and felt so alone. I started getting into prescription drugs and alchol very heavly. Finally with the help of my parents I got out of the situation with the boy and sought help for my addiction to pills. I had to switch schools to get completely away. He still calls me and begs for me back..but there is no way I'd ever go back. 1 in 3 girls are being tormented with this everyday! I want to help those who are hurting so badly and share with them my similar experiences..I plan to start a group at my school and wear my bracelets everyday!!
